 From today, 11 December 2007, it is possible to view online the trailer for the new documentary from the UNU Media Studio entitled “Voices of the Chichinautzin.”
Chichinautzin is a biological corridor just outside Mexico City and the documentary shows how this beautiful land is the setting for desperate and at times violent struggles between indigenous communities and powerful interests.
Illegal logging has emerged as a major issue affecting the sustainability of this natural protected area. Local scientists, community groups and government agencies are working together, and harnessing traditional knowledge, to find a long term development path that balances the need for conservation with the security of local livelihoods.
The documentary was produced by the UNU Media Studio and directed and co-produced by Patricia Sims, co-directed and produced by Luis Patron. The UNU Media Studio wishes to thank all our collaborators who supported this project and especially the scientific team at REDMESO, led by Topiltzin Contreras from the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos.
